#ASEH2018TWEETS

Call for Participants

Proposal Deadline: February 21, 2018

Twitter Conference Dates: March 8 and 9th, 2018

Co-Sponsored by Network in Canadian History and Environment (NiCHE) and the NiCHE New Scholars Committee

Members of the ASEH Graduate Caucus and broader environmental history community are invited to participate in an accompanying Twitter conference to happen one week before the American Society for Environmental History 2018 meeting in Riverside, California (March 14-18, 2018).

This Twitter Conference will provide:

– Increased visibility and publicity for environmental history, ASEH 2018, and its presenters.

– Increased interaction with the public and other scholars.

– A chance for individuals unable to attend ASEH 2018 to participate in the conference.

Two Types of Presentations will be considered:

– ASEH Presenters are invited to condense their ASEH 2018 papers and posters into an 8 to 10 Tweet thread.

– Individuals unable to attend ASEH are welcome to pitch original research to be presented in an 8 to 10 Tweet thread.

All Twitter presentations/threads will be made into Twitter moments, which will be retweeted during the ASEH meeting the following week, March 14-18th.

This Twitter conference will follow the model exemplified by the seminal Beyond 150: Telling Our Stories conference held this past August. Visit @Beyond150CA and #beyond150ca on Twitter or the conference website https://beyond150ca.wordpress.com/ for examples.
